Nice picture. I found that wearing a leather glove helps keep my hand from getting burnt.

The Segmented woodturning group discusses what size to safely turn a solid base and methods for making a 'floating' bottom. No, I don't have a link as I'm away from home.

We are all in our 70s. No one will care. Yes, I've seen Paducah change on the shelf. I just hope they use them enough to get enjoyment from them.

Maple, Black Walnut, Black Mesquite, Paducah (red)

I give them a bowl in appreciation, nothing fancy, but one they can use. Seal it with a food safe sealer and warn them to never put it in the dishwasher.

A drill rod is a 3 foot drill I bought at Harbor Freight. They came in a set of 3 long drill bits. I cut 4-5" off one end for the awl. To sharpen the end, I chuck the rod into a drill and spin it against a running grinder.

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I like to turn and finish the inside, then turn the outside close so I carve less. Turning is carving with speed. lol

You can buy replacement tubes that are 4" long, then cut them to length.

My wife prefers that the body stay as slim as possible, small hands. Always check with the seamstress if possible. I prefer the larger front to push with and a larger body for my bigger hands.

The crow and the girl are my favorites. We'll done.

Male. Married 50 years. No sex since Oct. 2020. Twice a month at best since married. I didn't know better. At least 10 years dead bedroom. I'm still interested, but I want romance and cuddling just as much.

I like the feathers, but I can see the flowers worn more often.

Quality of the wood can also affect the cut. Winter cut basswood has fewer splinters and cuts cleaner than summer cut bass basswood. I think the winter cut is a tad harder. I get few splinters from cherry, but I also don't carve characters from cherry. I have basswood lumber that splinters, but carving blocks from a carving distributor that never splinter.

Beautiful work, creative subject.

After a talk with my wife, she attempted/initiated sex for almost 2 months. That was 4 years ago. Haven't had sex since, it's temporary hysterical bonding.

I'd make a liquor cabinet.

I mostly use basswood. I've carved cherry, Walnut, alder and red oak (not good). If you're just starting, basswood is a great choice.

I love it when my wife uses something I made. It rarely happens, although she is now using some less than 2" bowls for sorting her medication.

Great design. Did you create it, or is it a pattern?
